POEtic Tissue: An Integrated Architecture for Bio-inspired Hardware
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is clear to all, after a moments thought, that nature has much we might be inspired by when designing our systems, for example: robustness, adaptability and complexity, to name a few. The implementation of bioinspired systems in hardware has however been limited, and more often than not been more a matter of artistry than engineering. The reasons for this are many, but one of the main problems has always been the lack of a universal platform, and of a proper methodology for the implementation of such systems. The ideas presented in this paper are early results of a new research project, "Reconfigurable POEtic Tissue". The goal of the project is the development of a hardware platform capable of implementing systems inspired by all the three major axes (phylogenesis, ontogenesis, and epigenesis) of bio-inspiration, in

A POEtic Architecture for Bio-Inspired Hardware
The implementation of bio-inspired systems in hardware has traditionally been more a matter of artistry than of method. The reasons are multiple, but one of the main problems has always been the lack of a universal platform, of a standardized architecture, and of a proper methodology for the implementation of such systems. The ideas presented in this article are the first results of a new resea...

متن کاملEvolving Genetic Regulatory Networks for Hardware Fault Tolerance
We present a new approach that is able to produce an increased fault tolerance in bio-inspired electronic circuits. To this end, we designed hardwarefriendly genetic regulatory networks based on a bio-inspired hardware architecture called POEtic tissue. To assess its preliminary functionality, the parameters of the genetic regulatory networks were evolved using genetic algorithms to achieve ele...
متن کاملPOEtic: an electronic tissue for bio-inspired cellular applications.
In this paper, we introduce the general architecture of a new electronic tissue called POEtic. This reconfigurable circuit is designed to ease the implementation of bio-inspired systems that bring cellular applications into play. It contains special features that allow a developer to realize systems that require evolution (Phylogenesis), development (Ontogenesis), and/or learning (Epigenesis). ...
متن کاملOntogenetic Development and Fault Tolerance in the POEtic Tissue
In this article, we introduce the approach to the realization of ontogenetic development and fault tolerance that will be implemented in the POEtic tissue, a novel reconfigurable digital circuit dedicated to the realization of bio-inspired systems. The modelization in electronic hardware of the developmental process of multi-cellular biological organisms is an approach that could become extreme...
